Um...I'm downloading a Wolfmother show...from BitTorrent. I'm getting almost 400k/sec on a wireless connection in my house. Is that supposed to happen?

Road Trip: Last Leg
Well, we've been back in Troy for a few days, and let me tell you, it is STRANGE to be back! It was like, "What happened? I didn't take a plane...but somehow here we are!" Everything is connected, and the US is both very small and very large.
I miss Seattle badly, but I have just settled into my new digs here, and let me just say that they are SWEET SWEET SWEET! I am living in a nice house with two nice girls, it's a block away from campus and a block away from my best friends here, there's a backyard, deck, basement which is gonna be finished, and my room is just right. I have a feeling that this year will be better than the last. And if it's not, then I'm gonna MAKE IT!
So there's these last few pictures from the trip, to wrap it up: click me.
Also, Pet Sounds is pretty damn amazing.

Road Trip, Part III - Chicago to Ontario
You know the drill. Pics here and here. Video here.
We're in London, Ontario at the moment, with another of Kris' Battlefield friends. We decided to spend two nights here, rather than driving late tonight back to Troy. Just hanging out, playing videogames. Back tomorrow to the new house! Stoked! Out.

Alright, installation 2 of the trip photos available here. Watch the video here. (if not working, here's a direct download)
In Chicago tonight, crashing on the floor at Ben & Leslie's place. They've been great; we talked about all and sundry and had a yummy dinner. About to head for bed and then we will explore a bit in the morning. Then Columbus, Ohio for more of Kris' Battlefield friends. Woo!

Woooo! So Kris flew out and we partied for a few days in Seattle. Then we set out on the great interstate - 90, that is. Photodocumentation is here, and here is a video which hopefully will play properly. If not then try downloading direct: (mp4 format)
I shall say no more tonight for I am wicked tired. More later!
